ATEX Cable Reel CR17 – 3-Pole 16A is an explosion-proof cable reel designed for safe temporary power distribution in hazardous areas classified as Zone 1 and Zone 2 (gas atmospheres).
The reel is equipped with 20 meters of EPR/PUR cable (3x2.5 mm²), one 3-pole 16A flange socket (6h position) and one matching 3-pole 16A plug. It is certified according to ATEX and IECEx requirements and marked II 2G Ex db eb IIC T6 Gb.
Explosion-proof construction
The CR17 cable reel is designed for demanding industrial environments where explosion protection compliance and mechanical robustness are essential. The winding body is manufactured from conductive EPDM and integrates certified Ex components in accordance with EN IEC 60079 standards.
The connection compartment is designed in type of protection “Ex eb” (increased safety), while the installed components comply with flameproof and increased safety requirements.
